Hello again here is the way I see what I type while typing it.. it's seems NOT CLEAR, to my eyes, and NOT THE CORRECT Way it was.. I think the problem of fonts must be solved at once, otherwise, I can't type comments, nor replies this way... MY EYES BURNS !! THANK YOU !

I have to admit, I was kind of hoping it wasn't going to be grey but I had a feeling it was :P Still, I think its an improvement over the old look and a breath of fresh air.

The only issues I'm seeing right now are the alignment of images in my portfolio, as with other peoples complaints with the use of Firefox. The black bullet points next to selections (i.e the "discussion areas" on the left of this box are aligned on the white box and partially overlapping the grey)...looks a lil' weird. Sorry if I didn't explain that that well lol

My only gripe is on the portfolio page, for those people with premium memberships where you can chose what section you would like to look at, the display options don't look that nice with it any more.

The one I currently have (Sub-Gallery layout 5 with the large images) looks the best but the green/blue writing underneath looks kinda small...

The manila folder looks ugly, and both folders, plus the grid layout make the images seem too small for me. Maybe it's just nitpicking, but I feel there could be some more tinkering to make the best of the presentation of this area. After all, presenting our stuff is what it's all about, right?

Other than that I have been able to find everything I wanted and am pretty happy, thanks for the hard work :)

I like the new look however the first boxes being stacked just look funny. That example at the end of this announcement was right on. I love that look and layout. So hopefully you'll moving onto that layout soon. Good job guys!

In Firefox 3 everything is centered down the middle.

love it , but commenting on the work I have to confess I cannot read my own text! of course I can make larger the screen everytime again, but is not easy and not kind for ppl with glasses and not the best eyes. None of my websites have these little and impossible sizes for the letters.

Nelly van Nieuwenhuijzen 15 Jul 2008

lol....now I 'm reading that Nira has the same problems....sorry for her too....my eyes are burning too and I have to stop with my comments....

Claire Wilson 15 Jul 2008

Just wanted to say that this updated site, is Brilliant! Great Job :)

Terry Harris 15 Jul 2008

I look the new updates!

Still, there are glitches in the Artists groups. I posted a reply in your artwantedtestgroup.

Glitches include:

Dropping you from a group you joined when you join some of the other groups. I have been dropped from your test group 4 times now, but luckily the posts replies I wrote stayed in.

I started a Digital Painting group there and look forward to it, but would like to stay a member of other groups I want to join. It also will not let me choice from the members manage portfolio editing area all the current groups I am a member of, even when I manage to be n two once at the same time, but it only gave me one choice listed to add the image to a group.

You need once the glitches are fixed a FAQ for group users so they can figure out how to post a preexisting image. You have it now as upload an image giving the area for loading a new image , not a preexisting one and some are confused by this. Make a add an existing image in you portfolio option and upload a new image so you can choice.

Please read the posts in your test groups so we know you are paying attention there & we don't have to come over here to repost. It may be a benefit if you put a option to post it here as well for that matter.

I see that some are complaining about the size of the text on the page. Perhaps making the text bold and larger as an option would be of help. I know that besides the artists, buyers may be turned off by not being able to see. A magnifying option prominent would be of help. I went to my view and selected large text to see if it helped, but it did not change the text size on the artwanted page. I am lucky to have a computer that came with a mouse with a magnify zoom feature.

Many are celebration the loss of the Top Ten feature without reading your posts on oncoming improvements about the Top Ten. Perhaps They will now go back and read it to find out about it's upcoming return. LOL! I look forward to seeing the changes you make with it.

I do love the new changes and look forward to seeing more. It does seem to feature the shopping more than before and this is a huge plus.

Keep up the good work, and hope membership builds as well as participation.

My favorite by far, glitches and all is the new art groups section. This was very needed and appreciated! Thanks AW!!!!!!

Side note, my last order I had shipped to a family member as a gift was well done and they loved it all. The note card came out great, the mugs as well. Well done AW, again!

Nira Dabush 15 Jul 2008

Nelly, I'm glad to see you here, you are 100% right. they must fix the text as it was before the 15 of July. i also checked at my son PC, Screen he has BIGGER Screen then ME, HE uses different resolution, the same problem there. The problem is while viewing through internet explorer and also through fire fox. This must be solved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESTERDAY, AND ALWAYS UNTIL TODAY IT WAS EXCELLENT !! ALSO THE BACKGROUND.. I DISLIKE THIS GREY.. IT'S TOO HEAVY IT'S GOOD FOR MALE LAWYERS OFFICES :-)).. LOL!

Nira Dabush 15 Jul 2008

the MOST FANTASTIC CHANGE, Is at the blog, the option of photos.. I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

Tyler Hasbrouck 15 Jul 2008

hell yah! thanks for upping the limit for free members! i just found this website last night and im already in love with it!

Greg Summers 15 Jul 2008

The layout and graphics are terrific - there are things to get used to - the print has always been small but thanks to bifocals, I can read it.

This brings the site up to date with other sites and it is very different - the graphics are bright and fun - other sites are nore business-like - and I think the look gives AW a Unique look. I like it wihtout the top 10 - perhaps an experiment to see how it works without it might be warranted - not many have complained.

Lot to see and use - it looks like a lot of work but a labor of love.

Kukua Akumanyi 15 Jul 2008

This is very cool.. I haven't had the chance to look throw all the new features, but so far this is great.

Please, keep em' coming....

I look forward to being able to see both gif and jpeg images on the portfolio page.

maggie Barra 15 Jul 2008

Great job to all that worked on the upgrades...much more user friendly and love all the new features..maggie

Caterina Cacace 15 Jul 2008

Love the new look! It is more modern and eye-catchy. Thanks for all your hard work!!!

bert cortes 15 Jul 2008

I do agree with the size of the letters being too small, but thank God the infamous Top 10 is no longer there and hope it never comes back. The "I do you - and you do me" is over, the reason you don't see too many comments now on one image unless the image is outstanding and deserves it.

Deno Pantelakos 15 Jul 2008

Just logged on and I am excited !!! Great job on the new look....now if we can get some buyers !
